Albert Einstein

A German-born theoretical physicist who has developed the general theory of relativity; one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "services to theoretical physics"; in particular his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect; a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory.



Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works. On 5 December 2014; universities and archives announced the release of Einstein's papers; comprising more than 30;000 unique documents. Einstein's intellectual achievements and originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with "genius".
